Acoustic Wallhanings | Homage to the Bauhaus Women
One hundred years after the founding of the Bauhaus, Mareike Lienau interprets in her
Acoustic Wallhanging‘s works of Bauhaus-Women new – in order to draw attention to the design and effectiveness of these Bauhaus-Women.

Her approach asks: What is Contemporary about Craft? How can I recreate a World Heritage Site - the manual art of knotting and the herbal way of coloring - and thus express it in the home. Mareike Lienau is essential for the activity as a designer, the aspect of the global value creation chain: the person who lives with the product as well as the person who manufactures the product is the focus of her work. As a designer, she wants to take responsibility by deciding with respect for the people andenvirement, how and under what circumstances her product is made and how it will be lived later.
